The Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface has truly transformed my recording experience. This audio interface is nothing short of amazing, offering a level of quality and versatility that's hard to beat. Right out of the box, the build quality of the Scarlett 4i4 is impressive. It feels robust and well-constructed, exuding a sense of professionalism. The sleek design is a perfect blend of form and function. But it's the audio performance that truly stands out. The Scarlett preamps deliver pristine and transparent sound, capturing every nuance of my recordings with stunning accuracy. Whether I'm recording vocals, instruments, or podcasts, the Scarlett 4i4 consistently produces clear, detailed, and rich audio. The four inputs and four outputs provide ample connectivity options, making it a versatile tool for a variety of recording setups. The direct monitoring feature is a game-changer, allowing for real-time monitoring with zero latency – essential for achieving tight performances. Setting up the Scarlett 4i4 was hassle-free, thanks to the straightforward installation process and the user-friendly software that comes with it. The Focusrite Control software offers intuitive control over various settings and routing options. I also appreciate the inclusion of Air mode, which adds a subtle brightness to recordings and vocals. It's a fantastic feature that enhances the overall sonic character. Whether you're a seasoned audio professional or just starting on your recording journey, the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface is a must-have tool. It combines outstanding audio quality, versatility, and ease of use in one package. I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance and the creative possibilities it unlocks.

Product is excellent, easy to use and was the first thing to improve my audio quality and how loud my microphone is.

This is an update. Love the interface now. It didn't work when connected to a Satechi multi-port USB adaptor that Apple recommends for Macbook pros with M1 chips. The Satechi is supposed to have enough power to power the Scarlett 4i4, but it's a piece of crap and doesn't. Don't spend $100 on the Satechi. Search out something that will power the audio interfaces that you use, etc. The Satechi has 1A power output which should power the Scarlett 4i4 but it doesn't. Get something with 1.5A or higher IMO. When I plugged the Scarlett 4i4 directly into my Macbook pro M1, it did exactly what it was supposed to do and the setup screen immediately popped up. It worked with the Focusrite controller at that point. I do have a suggestion for the company. Add a separate power option (USB-C or whatever) because newer laptops (like Macs) are getting fewer input/output options and it would be nice to be able to plug the audio interface into a USB power station or whatever and then hook it to the computer. Other than that, awesome piece of equipment. I hooked up the Scarlett 4i4 to my Macbook Pro M1 chip via a Satechi MULTI-PORT ADAPTER and nothing happened. The lights lit for a second then nothing. I downloaded the Focusrite controller and it says no hardware is connected. I spent an hour troubleshooting and still nothing. I don't have time for crap that doesn't work as advertised. I have an old PreSonus Audiobox that works fine so there is no reason this one shouldn't.

This might be long, so here is my synopsis: Works fine as an input to my iPAD 10th gen but lacks switches to set the modes and needs Windows to set modes with utility program. I already had a Windows setup with a 4 channel DAW running Reaper but after getting an iPad 10th gen for my wife, and trying out GarageBand, I wanted a way to record singing and guitar playing with that program. I’ve bought and sent back four different devices that were unsatisfying for one reason or another, then I got this Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen. This device has all the desired modes, like monitor on/off, line/instrument, 48V condenser power and input PAD, but I discovered that there were no buttons or switches to make the selections. The manufacture provided a program with a slightly confusing graphic interface where I had to make my mode selections. The unit would then remember the settings even after power down. Here is the kicker. That program is a windows program! There was an iOS program on their web site, but that did nothing but ask if my wifi was on! What? And, their web site said their support for this in iOS was discontinued. So, if I wanted to change mode, like I do when I needed to turn on the input monitor for, say, the video record program, I have to unplug everything and plug it into my Windows laptop and run that configuration utility. So dumb. All that aside, this thing works and sounds great and it doesn’t seem to use much power. A simple USB C Splitter with a type C PW input and 1 USB-C data port worked fine. Even with the weak iPAD power brick I can power the iPAD and the Scarlett 4i4. Note that I did need a USB-A to USB-C adapter, as the Scarlet cable is type A at the host end.

The Focusrite Scarlett has been a game changer for my home studio. The sound quality is crystal clear, the build feels solid, and setup was super easy!!

I love the Focusrite Scarlet. It's my second. It arrived perfectly, one day later than expected, but works perfectly at a fair price.

This is a great unit, comes with a generous software and instrument package. Gives you four input, four output and you can route your signal however you want. Also there is a loopback function to record your computer sounds, plus there's a 5pin midi IN/midi OUT connector for daisy chain your midi devices if you want. Also there is a headphone output INPUTS 2 x combi mic/instrument/line XLR inputs with 48V phantom power 2 x 1/4"balanced fixed line inputs Stereo Loopback Input 1 x 5-pin MIDI input OUTPUTS 4 x 1/4" balanced line outputs 1 x stereo headphone output 1 x 5-pin MIDI output 2 x Scarlett Mic Preamps with a wide 56 dB gain range and +22dBu maximum input level Direct hardware monitoring in mono or stereo THis is a USB bus powered unit (requires a port with at least 900mA) plug and play, just connect to your PC or Mac, connect your mics/instruments, set up routing in its sw and happy days. I am using it with a Samson Q2U XLR mic, and found the preamp has very low noise and with 75-80%(ish) gain it's perfect for spoken word applications. The preamps should easily drive an sm7b. The visul indicator for clipping is OK, it's around the gain knob and you can set it's colours but not the best way to check your levels (hello MOTU!), maybe it's personal preference, perfectly usable to avoid clipping. All in all it's a very capable little unit, small, easy to use, gives you plenty of options to record your thing.

La Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 di terza generazione è un’interfaccia audio ideale per musicisti e producer. Offre una qualità sonora cristallina con preamplificatori molto puliti e bassissima latenza. I quattro ingressi e quattro uscite permettono di collegare diversi strumenti e monitor contemporaneamente. Il software incluso è utile per registrazioni e mixaggio, e la costruzione è robusta e portatile. Facilissima da configurare e compatibile con la maggior parte dei DAW. Perfetta sia per home studio che per utilizzi più professionali.

Like: いろいろ調べて、ネイティブのYoutuberの話を聞くと、早期からPro Toolsとコラボで、大変素晴らしい会社と思いますし、音楽を愛する会社と感じています。沢山のネイティブyoutuberの話を聞いて、Focusriteとdbx 286sと繋いで録音する人が多いと思いまいました! 参考したYoutuber: The Mad Hermit, Julian Krause, Ben Tolosa 私自身はONKYOのSE-U55とdbx 286sと繋いで十分と思いましたが、マイクはSennheiser XSWの無線マイクを使って録音してみたのですが、音質は非常にいいですが、しかし、ONKYOとdbxの間にアマチュアの延長線で赤白ケーブルで変換アダブタを繋いだりして、結局はノイズが結構入りました。 問題はケーブルっか!ノイズのない録音したいので、Focusrite 4i4を調達し、ONKYO SE-U55と交換、ちゃんとしたのケーブル(プロスタンダード6.35mm - XLR)でSennheiser XS-1で録音してみたら、結果は文句なし。AWESOME! この4i4を選択した理由はMidのin / outがあるので、キーボードからの音声を録音する予定です。 本体の色も赤彗星と同じ 気になること Focusriteは基本的にパソコンで制御すると思います。 Mac miniのUSB A - USB C 繋いで出力先はYAMAHA MSP3、パソコンからの音声は鳴らします。 Line in にWin 10の3.5mm > 白赤ケーブルに変換アダプタつなぎ、PCからの音声はならない。Mic in繋いでもならなかった。 MacにFocusrite Control ソフトを入れて、ファームウェア自動アップデートし、Input Settings Analogue 1(Line)はオレンジ色になっている。なにも弄っていないのですが、Win 10の音声が鳴らしました。 安定性について、使って1日目、詳細は後日評価したらと思います。

Das Focusrite Scarlett 3rd Gen Audio Interface ist ein absoluter Game-Changer für Musiker, Podcaster und Produzenten. Es kombiniert hochwertige Audioqualität, einfache Bedienung und robuste Verarbeitung in einem kompakten Gerät. Egal, ob du gerade erst mit der Musikproduktion beginnst oder schon Erfahrung hast – dieses Interface ist eine hervorragende Wahl. Hier sind die Gründe, warum ich diesem Produkt 5 von 5 Sternen gebe: 1. Kristallklare Audioqualität Die Scarlett-Serie ist bekannt für ihre exzellente Klangqualität, und die dritte Generation setzt diese Tradition fort. Die Mikrofonvorverstärker liefern einen sauberen, warmen Klang mit minimalem Rauschen. Besonders beeindruckend ist die “Air”-Funktion, die den Sound aufhellt und ihm eine professionelle Studioqualität verleiht – ideal für Vocals und akustische Instrumente. 2. Einfache Einrichtung und Bedienung Die Installation des Interfaces ist kinderleicht. Mit den mitgelieferten Treibern und der intuitiven Software „Focusrite Control“ war ich in wenigen Minuten einsatzbereit. Die übersichtliche Anordnung der Regler und Anschlüsse macht die Bedienung auch für Anfänger einfach und unkompliziert. 3. Vielseitige Anschlussmöglichkeiten Das Scarlett 3rd Gen bietet alles, was man für ein modernes Studio-Setup benötigt: - XLR-/Klinken-Kombibuchsen: Perfekt für Mikrofone, Instrumente oder Line-Signale. - Kopfhörerausgang mit separatem Lautstärkeregler: Ideal für präzises Monitoring. - USB-C-Anschluss: Schnelle Datenübertragung und einfache Verbindung zu PC oder Mac. Die verschiedenen Modelle (Solo, 2i2, 4i4) bieten unterschiedliche Kanalanzahlen, sodass jeder das passende Gerät für seine Bedürfnisse findet. 4. Kompaktes und robustes Design Das Interface ist kompakt genug, um es problemlos transportieren zu können, und dennoch robust gebaut. Das rote Aluminiumgehäuse sieht nicht nur hochwertig aus, sondern hält auch den Strapazen des täglichen Gebrauchs stand. 5. Umfangreiches Software-Paket Ein großer Pluspunkt ist das mitgelieferte Software-Bundle, das unter anderem Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools First und zahlreiche Plugins enthält. Damit hat man alles, was man für den Einstieg in die Musikproduktion benötigt – ohne zusätzliche Kosten. 6. Niedrige Latenz Die niedrige Latenz ist ein weiterer großer Vorteil des Scarlett 3rd Gen. Selbst bei Echtzeit-Aufnahmen oder Monitoring gibt es keine spürbaren Verzögerungen, was das Arbeiten extrem angenehm macht. Verbesserungsvorschlag Ein kleines Manko ist die fehlende Ein-/Aus-Taste am Gerät. Man muss das Interface also immer über den USB-Anschluss vom Strom trennen, wenn man es ausschalten möchte. Dies ist jedoch kein großes Problem im Vergleich zu den vielen Vorteilen. Fazit Das Focusrite Scarlett 3rd Gen Audio Interface bietet alles, was man sich von einem Audio-Interface wünscht: hervorragende Klangqualität, einfache Bedienung und vielseitige Funktionen – alles zu einem fairen Preis. Es eignet sich perfekt für Home-Studios, mobile Aufnahmen oder professionelle Produktionen. Egal ob Einsteiger oder Profi – dieses Interface wird dich nicht enttäuschen! Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
